Efficient Bandwidth Allocation in Buffer Insertion Ring Networks

The 5th Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering, Toronto, Canada, September 1992, pp. 1.22.1-1.22.5.2.

Abstract: A new access method for the high-speed LAN environment is proposed in this paper. The access method is based on the Buffer Insertion Ring protocol using fixed length packets in unslotted operation. The method also uses a simple scheduling of traffic to adapt the offered load to the network conditions and to distribute the available bandwidth in different classes by monitoring the instantaneous traffic flow. The synchronous traffic has the highest priority and is served with bounded transfer delays by managing the allocated bandwidth as it is allocated to the different traffic classes.
